6 games in, she's still tied at 3-3 and so far, apart from the first game, she seems to be doing pretty well on serve (which was the main worry I had given how much her service motion has changed to accommodate her injury).

To make things better, it's looking increasingly likely that Pironkova is going out, so she wouldn't have to play her next should she manage to win today.

Excellent. Thanks for the update. Glad to hear she came through what was a pretty tough battle in her first match back! As much as the result was disappointing, she seemed to do very well for her first match back. And to be honest, as far as I'm concerned, results don't matter any more as long as she's healthy. Hopefully the results will come once she's got a few matches under her belt.
